The King Years 1961 - 1962 (Not Now Music) 2013

Freddy King

Portada: NNM

Los dos primeros elepés del guitarrista Freddy King (1934 - 1976) se recuperan este año con el añadido de cuatro canciones extra para deleite de los seguidores del músico y compositor texano, quien a comienzos de la sesenta formaba parte de uno de los puntales del blues eléctrico de Estados Unidos. Las buenas maneras de King a la hora de tocar y componer, así como al cantar, constituían un excelente revulsivo dentro del ámbito de un género en pleno proceso de cambio, y también de aceptación por el público joven tanto en el lugar de origen del guitarrista como en el continente europeo. Freddy Sings y Let's Hide Away And Dance Away recogen por un lado composiciones cantadas y, por otro instrumentales, que demuestran la versatilidad de King en sus primeros tiempos de éxito (r&blues, boogie, soul, rock and roll). Algunas piezas forman parte del legado del blues intemporal como, por ejemplo, See See Baby, Lonesome Whistle Blues, I'm Tore Down, You've Got To Love Her With A Feeling, Hide Away o Stumble, piezas que abrieron el camino a varios y excelentes guitarristas de la década en que se grabaron los dos primeros discos grandes de Freddy.

CD1. Freddy King Sings. Canciones: See See Baby. Lonesome Whistle Blues. Takin' Care Of Business. Have You Ever Loved A Woman. You Know That You Love My (But You Never Tell Me So). I'm Tore Down. I Love The Woman. Let Me Be (Stay Away From Me). It's Too Bad Things Are Going So Tough. You've Got To Love Her With A Feeling. If You Believe (In What You Do). You Mean, Mean Woman (How Can Your Love Be True). Canciones extra: Do The President Twist (con Lula Reed). You Can't Hide (con Lula Reed). 

CD2. Let's Hide Away And Dance Away. Canciones: Hide Away. Butterscotch. Sen-Sa-Shun. Side Tracked. The Stumble. Wash Out. San-Ho-Zay. Just Pickin'. Heads Up. In The Open. Out From. Swooshy. Canciones extra: (Let Your Love) Watch Over Me (con Lula Reed). It's Easy Child (con Lula Reed).

Músicos: CD1. 1-12. Freddy King (guitarra y voz), Fred Jordan (guitarra), Sonny Thompson (piano), Bill Willis (bajo), Gene Redd (saxofón), Clifford Scott (saxofón) y Phillip Paul (batería). 13-14. King Records (777), 1962.

Bloodiest (Relapse Records) 2016

Bloodiest

Portada: Heather Gabel

Segunda entrega discográfica de la banda de Chicago de metal progresivo Bloodiest, sexteto que insiste en su poderoso sonido tras cinco años de silencio en lo que se refiere a a grabaciones de estudio- Su nuevo álbum homónimo, en el que se incluyen ocho piezas, sigue un sonido lineal caracterizado por potentes fraseos de las guitarras eléctricas y una agresiva sección rítmica, con algún teclado por medio, así como una voz casi monocorde, constituyen las señas de identidad del combo chicaguense. La primera canción del repertorio, Mesmerize, es un buen ejemplo de lo dicho anteriormente y una fiel muestra de la línea adoptada por el grupo que cierra con Suffer un disco realmente indicativo de que Bloodiest forma parte de la vanguardia de las bandas estadounidenses de post metal.

Canciones:

• Mesmerize
• The Widow
• Condition
• Broken Teeth
• Mind Overlaps
• He Is Disease
• Separation
• Suffer 

Miembros: Bruce Lamont (cantante),  Cayce Key (batería), Tony Lazzara (guitarra) Eric Chaleff (guitarra) Colin Dekuiper (bajo) y Nandini Khaund (piano y sintetizador).

Más portadas: Descent (2011).

Alex Harvey

Caja con 14 CD 

Alex Harvey (Glasgow, 1935 - Zeebruge, Bélgica, 1982) es uno de los roqueros escoceses representantivos del siglo pasado cuyo legado musical recupera en merecido homenaje a su figura la discográfica Universal Music mediante una caja de 14 discos en formato compacto, que recogen material grabado desde 1963 al último disco en estudio de 1978, así como canciones registradas en la etapa posterior a The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. La nueva entrega, que saldrá a la venta el 18 de marzo, recoge 217 piezas que han sido remasterizadas, entre las que aparecen 21 pistas inéditas, y 59 que se incluyen oficialmente en CD por primera vez. La caja incluye asimismo un libro de 60 páginas escrito por Tim Barr que ofrece abundante material gráfico sobre Alex Harvey, combativo, inspirado  y simpático músico que prácticamente murió con las botas puestas un día antes de cumplir los 48 años de edad. Skifle, blues, rock and roll, glam y rock duro son algunos de los estilos por los que transitó la música creada por el músico escocés.
